How imporant is it to keep it less than 500 words ?
On the Common Application website it says that the Application Essay needs to be 500 words or less, but there are many essays on this website, which are longer than 500 words. I even saw one with more than 800 words. So my question is : How imporant is it to keep it less than 500 words and what happens if I submit one with more than 500 words ?
